Infected Dogs / Zombie Dogs!

[batcaveslimer 12]

Make the infection cross species to man's best friend. Spawn Zombie Dogs at Zombie Spawn locations 10% of the time, in groups of 1 - 3. Smaller faster target. Howl/Growl alerts zombies of players in 100 - 200m (?) (AND players of players) also more spooky at night. Does not enter buildings. Zombie dogs have Less health - do same damage (more leg hits?)

Optional: Sense of smell. 'Sees' players in a larger radius. Can follow player trails and/or scent them in the air and aggros on sight of player. (a light tracking then attacks player in earnest).

I just found this excellent other post the same idea. Couldn't find it earlier.

there was a statement of rocket or the dev team about adding dogs ingame a few weeks ago, didn´t say if as friends or foes.

I like dogs. They may give 2x meat :P Zombie dogs would be awesome if you'd hear them at night howling in the distance.

No god no not zombie dogs... Zombie dogs are my worst nightmare in any game I play... I just don't like them.
